ONE WOMAN was among the 400 ratings to be
advanced to the new rate of Fleet Chief Petty Officer. She was CWREN (Stores) Beatrice May Willis who joined the Navy in 1947. HMS Dreadnought had become the first British submarine to break surface at the North Pole. Her patrol took her 1,500 miles under the ice, and she collected scientific data before returning.

PRINCESS Margaret had launched the guided missile destroyer HMS Hampshire at John Brown's shipyard on Clydebank. The frigate HMS Eskimo was launched at Cowes and the cruiser HMS Blake had been accepted into service. Forty ships had taken part in Commonwealth joint exercises in the Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal. They included warships from Britain, Australia, New Zealand, India and Pakistan.
ONE of the Navy's best-known landmarks for the previous 50 years, the China Fleet Club in Hong Kong, was to be demolished. The valuable waterfront site would be re-occupied by a multi-storey block, several floors of which would accommodate the new club. The Second Frigate Squadron was disbanded. Its training role would be extended to other vessels for a week or two at a time, so freeing the frigates of the squadron for operational use.
